Obama is back, fights against drawing districts based on partisan interests

Former President Barack Obama is back in the political arena, announcing a new initiative to combat gerrymandering.

In a Tweet, Obama wrote, “Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now. And it’s why I’m proud to announce @allontheline’s in-person training initiative, Redistricting U.”

The “Redistricting U” program, which is part of the “All on the Line” campaign, aims to recruit and train individuals to take up the fight against drawing congressional districts based on partisan interests.
